Description
ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Ada Bikini Top is worked sideways in garter stitch.
It is knit using Lycra yarn, a highly elastic fiber specifically designed for activewear and swimwear. This means you can safely swim in your finished bikini top.
Please note: This pattern is designed to be used exclusively with Chamade Knitwear’s Lycra yarn. Substituting with any
other yarn is not recommended and will not produce the intended fit or functionality.
This pattern is suitable for advanced beginners.

Measure your own chest circumference to determine which size will fit you the best.

MEASUREMENTS
The Ada Bikini Top has approximately 40 cm of negative ease measured around the bust. Meaning it is 40 cm smaller in
circumference than your actual chest circumference. The negative ease may seem extreme at first glance. Keep in mind
that the yarn is highly elastic and stretches significantly when worn.
